I think this shot worked out pretty well. … I love the contrast of the deep black of Vader’s cape, against the bright hall of the Tantive IV. Also, check out the lights on Vader’s belt…

GL is going to be so mad at you … undoing all his new, messy colorings. 😄

Three observations though. One is I still see some Blu-ray blueness trying to peek through, ever more as areas darken. Another is the deep darks have little breathing room and tend to blend together (like Vader and the Commander). And the last is that Star Wars was a Technicolor film with colors that should “pop” a bit more, which I can do with my “Technicolor-izer” (emphasizes the purer-primary colors). So I tried a manual color correction of that Blu-ray snapshot, aiming towards your auto-cc, with my 3 ideas incorporated.

What do you think of this (top is auto-cc, bottom is manual-cc w/3_ideas) . .

WARNING: This was worked up on an older LCD laptop. It appeared to change just by moving my head. 😃 Hopefully, your mileage may will vary from that.
